Chinese Students in Germany

This is the article



I will be studying abroad in Germany for a year this coming September and I found this article, which was really interesting. And when I asked one of the study abroad students from Germany if it was true that the biggest group of international students studying in Germany were Chinese, they confirmed the accurateness of this article. Turns out my Chinese classes will be useful to me in Germany 德國 after all!

House of Flying Daggers 十面埋伏

House of Flying Daggers is a Chinese film that has a kind of Robin Hood theme to it. There is a group called The Flying Daggers that steal from the rich and give to the poor. The leader of the group is killed, a new person takes their place and an order is put out to have this new leader killed, thus lots of cool fighting ensues. What I found most spectacular about this film is the use of color, which this particular director 張藝謀 Zhang Yimou is well known for. He is also the director of the movie To Live that I mentioned earlier in my blog.
